About

Born in Ankara, Sarah Davis spent her childhood in Turkey and Barcelona. Daughter of an Ottoman historian, Davis was enchanted early on by the ancient carpets of the Middle East, and went on to study medieval art.

In her intricate designs, Davis explores light refraction and shimmering patterns evocative of Moorish and Arabic geometries. Working in glass beads or in watercolor, she reveals a radiant world of light and color, inspired by Earth - a jewel in space.

artist's note

For more than thirty years, sacred geometries have entranced me. I see each tiny element of the design as part of the greater pattern woven through all things. 

I particularly enjoy the sustained focused attention my work requires. Whether bead tapestry or watercolor painting, each piece takes approximately three months to complete.
